How To Take Medicine Through Enteral Pump Feeding:
- Ask your healthcare provider if you can take your medications through your feeding tube. Most medications you normally take by mouth can be taken through your feeding tube.
- Medications must be liquid or crushed into powder to prevent your feeding tube from getting clogged. Many medications come in liquid form. Ask your healthcare provider about liquid forms if you take pills, tablets, or capsules.
- Tablets or capsules that are enteric-coated, extended-release (XR), or slow-release (SR) can’t be taken through your feeding tube. If you take any medications in that form, ask your healthcare provider if you can get the medication in a different form.
- Don’t mix different medications unless instructed by your healthcare provider. If you take more than 1 medication, ask your healthcare provider if you can take any of them together.
- Please write down your medication schedule and carry it with you. Update it when anything changes. That will make it easy for your family members or caregivers to know your medication schedule. Bring a copy of the schedule to your doctor visits. Your doctor will review your medications at each visit.
- Always flush your feeding tube with 60 mL of water before and after you take each medication. It will prevent clogging.
